Hi,
I just finished setting up my HackyStat server for the first time (It
went very smoothly - wonderful instructions!) and I was wondering how to
set up HackyStat as a Service so that it will start up automatically if
the server get rebooted? I'm working on a Windows XP platform using the
Cold Deploy instructions.
Thank you!
Melissa Butler
Hi Melissa,
Glad to hear you had a good experience with Hackystat installation!
I believe that the easiest way to set up Hackystat as a service is to:
(a) Install a fresh copy of Tomcat as a service using the Windows .exe
installer:
<http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/setup.html>
(b) Edit the hackystat.properties file so that the tomcat.home property now
points to the location of your tomcat service installation.
(c) Stop the tomcat service.
(d) Do the cold deploy of Hackystat to the tomcat service installation.
(e) Startup the service.
That should be it. From now on, if the server is rebooted, Tomcat should
restart automatically, and the Hackystat webapp will be available as part
of that restart.
Let me know if that isn't clear or if you run into any problems.
I am cc'ing the hackystat developers list on this reply in case they have
any additional advice for you.
Also, please let me know if you would like me to add you to the hackystat
announce list. This is low volume, 1 email/month that will keep you
informed of new stable releases of the system.
Cheers,
Philip
